Is this a public works job? Otherwise, there is no obligation to accept you even as the lowest bidder. And, even if it is public works, you must be the lowest "qualified" bidder. If there was any other reason they determined your bid didn't qualify, then they could reject it. A little more information is needed about the project and the reasons given, if any, why your bid was rejected.
I agree entirely with Mr. Campbell. If it is a private project they have no obligation to do anything with your bid. If it's a public works project I don't see why they are not just rejecting your bid as non-responsive. We would need more information and detail to figure this out.
